First Impressions – Framework 16

This blog posting is my initial review of the Framework 16 notebook computer. I chosen the one with the 7840HS CPU from AMD, with the standard keyboard in addition to the number pad. For modules, I chosen 4 USB-C ports, a 1TB storage module, and an SD card module. I will go into modules a little later in this posting. In addition to the PC, I had to buy memory which I bought 2 × 32GB (64GB) of memory, a 2TB, and 4TB NVME storage drives. The 4TB drive didn’t fit because it was too high (a heatsink). All together, I paid a little more than $3,000 for all purchases. Read more “First Impressions – Framework 16”

Yimoon Utility Vest

While my standard for pants are cargo pants, I didn’t like the fact that my keys was placed. I also didn’t like the fact that my phone slid outside of my top open pocket. With these two things in mind, I wanted alternatives for pockets. This is where I came across to get a cargo vest. This is a vest with multiple pockets, and boy does this vest have multiple pockets. The Yimoon Utility Vest supports all of my needs, and allows for better organization. I also have a dedicated closed pocket for the phone which is good because my phone is $1,500. I am also more confident on where my keys are located at, and can access everything easily, and not have to reach down to my knee to get my keys. Read more “Yimoon Utility Vest”
